Easy Street

I remember the way
Our sainted mother
Would sit and croon us
Her lullaby

She'd say, kids, there's a place
That's like no other
You got to get there before you die

You don't get there
By playing from the rule book
You stack the ages
You load the dice

Mother dear
Oh, we know you're down there listening
How can we follow
Your sweet
Advice
To

Easy stɾeet
Easy stɾeet
Where you [A7sleep till noon [C7]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

She'd ɾepeat
Easy stɾeet
Better get there soon.

Easy stɾeet
Easy stɾeet
Where the ɾich folks play
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Move them [A]feet

Move them [A]ever-lovin' feet
To easy stɾeet
Easy stɾeet
When you [A7get there stay

It ain't fair
How we scrounge
For three of four bucks
While she gets
Warbucks

The little brat!
It ain't fair this here life
Is drivin' me nuts!
While we get peanuts
She's livin' fat!

Maybe [Am]she holds the key
That little lady

To gettin' more bucks

Instead of less
Maybe [Am]we fix the game
With something shady

Where does that put us?
Oh, tell her.
Yes!

Easy stɾeet
Easy stɾeet
Annie is the key
Yes sirree
Yes sirree
Yes sirree
Easy stɾeet
Easy stɾeet
That's where we're gonna
Be!
